Death Search - WALTER HUGH SEBIRE

[Robinetta]

I am desperate to find any information regarding the death of Walter Hugh Sebire, b1880 on Guernsey. He took part in the Great War in the Royal Engineers. Was discharged in 1918 but I can find no record of him after that?

Has anyone got the hammer for this "brick wall"?

Regards, Robinetta

Hi Ath

That is it then for now! On to the "back burner" he will go - but I am sure I have not heard the last of him!
Thanks so much for your help and time.

Kind regards,
Robinetta

Did he go back to Guernsey!

Hi Julie
I do not know if he returned to Guernsey. I can find no death date of him in Guernsey and as he had made a trip to Canada before the First World War, I wondered if he had gone back there after the war?
Kind regards,
Robinetta

Hi
Just a quick update on my search.

I have still not found a death date - but Walter Hugh Sebire did take the trip to Philadelphia on his way to Canada. I have now found record of him taking part in the First World War - joining the Royal Engineers when his address was given as Doyles Military Road, St Sampson, Guernsey. He served in Egypt in 1915 and thankfully must have survived the war as he is not on the GWGC Debt of Honour List.

Can anyone add any more or point me in a direction ?????!!!!!

Kind regards
Robinetta

Hi All,

I am new to this Forum and I am interested in any ww1 and 2 talkins. I noticed someone was talking about St Pierre cemetery in Amiens. Igot interested in especially WW1 because my wifes grandad died of wounds recieved at Guillemont on the 8th August 1916 and is buried in St Pierre Cemetery. My wife and and a coup-loe of the family went out in 1997. That is when I got interested in ww1. I now have the Soldiers died CD ROM 1914/19 also The roll of honour CD ROM 1939/45. I also found where the hospital run by the No1New Zealand ambulance station was situated in Amiens if any one is interested. I think I have gone on a bit so I will close now. If I can help in anyway with my CD'S feel free to ask.

Hi JohnB

Welcome to the Forum. I too am fairly new and finding my feet with the site.

It is kind of you to make a look-up offer and I think if you posted the offer in the Military Section there would be more people aware of your offer. Simply click on Community Forum at the top of the page and then scroll down to the Military Section and then you click to choose WW1 or WW2. Choose to make a new thread and there you go.

Kind regards
Robinetta
